Your Wedding Experience

Stress-free, joy-filled, and full of moments you’ll never forget.

From the first email to the final gallery, I’m here to make this feel easy, comfortable, and incredibly fun!


I won’t make you pose like someone you’re not. I won’t over-direct or under-deliver. What I will do is learn your people, feel out the rhythm of your day, and move like a guest with a camera—close enough to catch the real stuff, never in the way.


We’ll talk before the wedding. Not just about timelines or logistics, but about who matters most to you. Who do you want a quiet photo with before the ceremony? Who’s most likely to tear up during toasts? What parts of the day feel sacred? What parts feel just plain exciting?


On the day itself, I’m calm when the flower girl throws a tantrum, quick when the light is just right, and patient when your dad needs a minute to pull himself together.


Afterward, I’ll sort through every image—carefully, intentionally—choosing the ones that tell your story the way it really happened. The kind of photos that feel alive every time you look at them.


You don’t have to know how to pose. You just have to show up.


I’ll take it from there.

Client Reviews!

After our initial zoom call, my husband and I agreed we made the right choice. Emma always responded so quickly to my dozens of emails leading up to the wedding. She is talented, thoughtful, easy going, and overall added so much positivity and fun to our wedding day. We had such great feedback from our bridal party who is just as obsessed with her. We love you Emma!

Testimonials

We had the pleasure of working with Emma for our engagement session and wedding day. To say she exceeded our expectations would be an understatement. Her photography is beautiful and authentic (she’s the queen of candids!) and her warm, funny, and genuinely kind personality made it all the more wonderful to work with her. We couldn’t imagine having chosen anyone else as our wedding photographer.

Testimonials

When I first saw Emma’s website, I knew we had to have her as our wedding photographer. From my initial inquiry to the delivery of our wedding gallery, and everything in between, Emma has been so pleasant to work with. Not only is her work absolutely stunning, but she helped us through the stressful wedding planning process. As someone who typically doesn’t like photos of myself, I have never felt more confident than in front of Emma’s camera. Her posing tips and prompts were a life-saver for an “awkward” couple like us. Want someone to capture the pure essence and emotion of your special day? Look no further.

Client Reviews!

My husband and I were recommended Emma for weddings through a friend that had her do their wedding… and man oh man are we glad we went through with it! Emma did our engagement shoot and then our wedding, and now I can’t stop recommending her to everyone! I’m not sure if I can fit all the great things about Emma in one single review, but from amazing communication, bubbly and kind personality, and just a raw and down to earth human… Emma truly made our whole engagement/wedding pictures/sessions a once in a life time experience. She really got to know us as people and a friend, rather than someone just out looking for money. I seriously can’t wait to have her photograph all life’s moments from here on out.

Client Reviews!

Emma is absolutely incredible!! She is the most genuine, kind-hearted person with a huge personality that shines through her photography. During our wedding day, Emma never stopped for a minute and was always throwing in a little quirkiness to keep the stress of the day at bay. She is full of ideas and is extremely receptive to anything you desire! Emma’s photography captures true authenticity: genuine moments from different perspectives that “tell” YOUR story and shows all the emotions! She did a tremendous job with helping us keep to our timeline and made the day run so smooth. Our pictures are absolutely STUNNING: each and everyone captures a moment that we will cherish for the rest of our lives! From start to finish, communication was open and transparent, and access to our gallery was easy and organized! Emma is the whole package; she is amazing!! We were lucky enough to have her do both our engagement and wedding pictures, and we can’t wait to have her capture future milestones!❤️✨📸
